However, while the studio finalises these changes the team has implemented several programs in the meantime to tide fans over.

From this Friday we’ll receive a 50 per cent discount (credits or tokens) on any and every car in the game. The discount will be available between 12:01am PT Friday, November 29 (Friday, November 29 7:01pm AEDT/Friday, November 29 8:01am GMT) and 11:59pm PT Sunday, December 1 (Monday, December 2 6:59pm AEDT/ Monday, December 2 7:59am GMT) and is available to all players.

If you’re a Forza Motorsport 5 VIP member, you’ll be gifted the 2013 Lotus E21 F1 car. If you’ve already purchased the E21 you’ll be gifted the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO. The E21 and the ’62 Ferrari cost 6,000,000 credits each in-game and are the two most expensive cars in Forza 5. We’re warned that this could take up to the 24 hours or more to occur.

Those of us who have purchased either the LaFerrari Car Pack or the Forza Motorsport 5 Car Pass will be gifted the 2013 LaFerrari directly into our garages; there’ll be no need to save up and buy it in-game. This may also take up to 24 hours or longer to be fulfilled.

Turn 10 is also “dramatically increasing” the credit payout available to all players during in December via Forza Rewards, Turn 10’s ongoing loyalty program that rewards players with credits and cars for playing Forza games.

On the topic of tokens in the Forza 5 Limited Edition, Turn 10 concedes that it mistakenly said the 1,250 courtesy tokens Limited Edition owners received would be enough to afford any car in the game when it is not, and many cars cost more than this. To apologise for its error Limited Edition owners will be able to select any of the on-disc cars in Forza 5 they wish to add to their personal garage. This offer will be redeemable via a dedicated page on ForzaMotorsport.net that will be up no later than December 16.

Turn 10 has faced criticism for since Forza 5’s release for its bizarre real-world currency prices for the game’s most expensive cars, with the 10,000 token ’62 Ferrari 250 GTO equal to USD$50 and over depending on the quantity of tokens purchased.
